Parineeti in Golmaal again

Parineeti Chopra is now part of one of the biggest, most successful franchises in Bollywood : the Golmaal series. After Meri Pyari Bindu and Takadum, she has now signed on for Rohit Shetty's Golmaal Again, which has been scripted by Sajid Farhad (of Housefull 3 fame).

Says a source, "The role required a pretty, bubbly girl. She plays a character, who is not seen by anybody except Ajay Devgn's character and is his partner in crime. It's an interesting, quirky role and Parineeti loved it. Rohit was undecided between Shraddha and Pari and met both the actresses for a narration. Shraddha said she would get back soon, while Pari said yes without hesitation. She loves the brand and wanted to be part of a Rohit Shetty entertainer. It was this positive attitude that Rohit liked and so, he signed her immediately.

However, Shraddha denies being approached for the role. She says," I am not in Golmaal Again and I wasn't even approached for it. It was juts a rumour." She has never done an out-and-out comedy before. Most of her releases have been intense, emotional dramas. She adds,"I have not been offered an out-and-out comedy. I would love to do such types of comedies if a nice script comes my way. I love all my dad's (Shakti Kapoor) films - right from Andaaz Apna Apna to Raja Babu and Satte Pe Satta and if remakes were made of these I would like to act in them. In fact, I love all David Dhawan films as they are so cheesy yet nice and entertaining . It is learnt that Pari has been asked to keep mum as Shetty wants to announce it in his grand style. " Which includes a special photo session." Adds the source, "Now that Shivaay has released, he will announce the entire casr." Golmaal Again will roll early next year.
